Answer to Question 1

A
Rhonchi are heard predominantly on expiration over the trachea and bronchi as a continuous low-pitched musical sound. Crackles are heard predominantly on inspiration as a dry high-pitched crackling or popping sound of short duration. Wheezes are hear predominantly on expiration all over the lungs as a continuous low-pitched snoring or high-pitched musical sound. Stridor is heard predominantly on inspiration as a continuous crowing sound.

Answer to Question 2

A
The major concepts that provide structure to the domain of nursing are person, environment, health, and nursing. The metaparadigm of medicine focuses on the pathophysiology and curing of disease. Nursing's paradigm is broader and focuses on the person, health, and the environment.
